... that urges you to make major life changes?
Move. Get a new job. Shake things up a bit?
How do you keep an even keel?

Make up your damn mind. Are we fighting to not make changes or are we fighting to make them? I am confuse.So, I want to know: How do you fight the urge to stay the course?
I'm pretty sure he's looking for a way to fight the urge to get motivated.Make up your damn mind. Are we fighting to not make changes or are we fighting to make them? I am confuse.
Meh. I just use marriage, mortgage, and paternity to remedy any "itch".I'm pretty sure he's looking for a way to fight the urge to get motivated.
I've heard there's an herbal remedy for that.![]()

Forgive me. I'm not looking to base 100% of my life direction from the internet, but I am at a point in my life where I have to make tough choices: I'd like to hear some POV.We'll if it's just you, you should do what you want.
If you have responsibilities like a family you should probably talk with someone or buy an expensive car? Whichever is cheaper.
Acknowledged, Sir.Sometimes, those major life changes are beyond our control. My "new normal" as a widower was most definitely NOT at the top of my list of changes to be made. Now that the change has been made for me, I have other changes I must face, and in good time, I will face them.

Ultimately, you're both right. Do I have responsibilities? Sort of. I have 2 dogs and a girlfriend. No kids/ (official) dependents. So I still have some mobility.
Seriously? They're my impetus to uproot...Meh. I just use marriage, mortgage, and paternity to remedy any "itch".
I think age and maturity settle me down. Oh, sure, I still have fantasies to run away and live on the beach with Eddie Vedder, but generally those are recognized as just that- fantasies. I think wanting a change is maybe why women change their hairstyle or color, or get a tattoo, since they usually are responsible enough to not ditch their jobs and spouses and kids.Lol. No. No real problem. I have a good life comparatively speaking. I've worked hard, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one with the urge to just up-root and change everything.
So, I want to know: How do you fight the urge to stay the course?
HA!Seriously? They're my impetus to uproot...
...with a disguise, a new social security number, in a city where they can't find me!
Ask yourself if it's worth the time, effort & money. Moving sucks & costs money. New job might be worth it if it pays more money and/or would make you happier. "Shake things up a bit"? To me this means something like "get out of the same old rut." Take a trip, go see a movie, try a new hobby; no need to make life-altering changes for that. That being said, it's YOUR life, you've got to live it the way YOU want to.... that urges you to make major life changes?

I think the other side of this coin, for me, is that I have done these things and the voice doesn't have a whole lot to say anymore outside of "she looks fun" or "you should eat that" or "you should have another".But start a business? Why not? Move to a different state? Can be great. Learn a new job skill or hobby? All for it.
Doesn't even need a high ceiling. In my 20's I answered an ad in the Oregonian. 2 weeks later I was living in Northern Thailand. Stayed there for almost a year. The pay was crap, but I lived really comfortably on it. 15 years later, I would do it again in a heartbeat.I think the key is just to start looking for opportunities in far-away places. Just make sure that those opportunities have a high ceiling - you don't want to uproot your life for a dead-end job. If you find the right opportunity, you'll know it.
